These are the long nights
The middle of July nights
The pink and blue and cream nights
The best time of the year
They’re firefly and moth nights
Fiddle cricket tune nights
Stay out late to play nights
Until the moon appears
These are the hot nights
The no pajama, sheet nights
The window open, fan nights
The nights of frog and loon
The bicycle and stroll nights
The freezy ice cream treat nights
The skinny-dipping pond nights
That always end too soon
